敢问路在何方 (May I ask where is the path...)

This is the theme song of the chinese classic Journey to The West. Many lessons, many inspirations.
The chinese lyrics and video are as follow:-

Journey to the West Theme Song (video and song)
Journey to the West Theme Song (just song)

担 ,
日出 , 晚霞   
坎坷 , 大道
艰险   
出发 , 出发

番番 春秋
酸甜
 
脚下

番番春秋
酸甜

脚下
~~~~~~~~

担 ,
水 ,   
风云雷电 , 叱咤
一路  
天涯 , 天涯

番番春秋
酸甜

脚下

啦…  
番番春秋
酸甜


脚下

脚下 ...


A rough translation of the song.

(You) Carrying the baggages , (I) leading the horse
(We) Welcoming the sunrise, sending off the sunset
Smoothing the rough road ahead, (turning it into) the great path
Quelling struggles, difficulties and troubles
Here we go again, here we go again...
la .. la... la...
Turning the seasons again and again
Tasting the flavours of life again and again
May I ask where is the path...
Look no further but under your feet
la..la..la...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
(You) Carrying the baggages , (I) leading the horse
Crossing countless mountains and waters, flakes and frost on the shoulders...
Let the wind howls and the thunder roars
Singing the carefree song all the way
Towards the furthest end of Earth, towards the furthest end of Earth...
la...la...la...
Turning the seasons again and again
Tasting the flavours of life again and again
May I ask where is the path...
Look no further but under your feet
la...la...la
Turning the seasons again and again
Tasting the flavours of life again and again
May I ask where is the path...
Look no further but under your feet
May I ask where is the path...
Look no further but under your feet

Angry Mind

 
The hostile multitudes are vast as space...
 
What chance is there that all are subdued?
 
.....
 
Let but this angry mind be overthrown...
 
And every foe is then and there destroyed.
 
 
-Shantideva

"忍一时风平浪气
退一步海阔天空"


Those who are determined to achieve great things must have the strength to face the difficulties at every moment without losing composure and inner tranquility.


"...Despite the difficulties of the moment, I still have a dream..."


大肚能容,容天下难容之亊.
开口就笑,笑天下可笑之人.
